Profitability Scorecard: Summary of Company Percentages
October 04, 2004 12:41 PM ET
1. Convansys: Net income increased 2,487.5 percent from 2Q '03 to 2Q '04 due to acting in accordance with recent guidance regarding the computation of earnings per share by the Emerging Issues Taskforce (EITF 03-06, "Participating Security and the Two Class Method Under FASB Statement No 128"), the company's undistributed net income being allocated between net income available for common shareholders and the outstanding convertible redeemable preferred stock. This new guidance results in lower earnings per share available for common shareholders in periods where the Company has net income available to common shareholders and has no impact in periods where the Company has a loss. Following this guidance, net income available to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2004 was 9 cents per share (on a diluted basis) as compared to a loss of 4 cents per share in the second quarter of 2003.
2. Integraph: Net income increased 1,800 percent from 2Q '03 to 2Q '04 due to a growth in revenue for all four business units and improving their overall operating margin to approximately 7 percent in Q204.
3. Tibco: Net income increased 1,613.9 percent from 2Q '03 to 2Q '04 due to adding 73 new customers, pioneering the next stage of real-time business "Predictive Business" (new product), adding 15 new financial services industry customers its client base, and acquiring Staffware (for automating and integrating business processes).
4. Geac: Net income increased 1,096.7 percent from 2Q '03 to 2Q '04 because of earnings from operations increasing from 1,889 in 2Q '03 to 22,783 in 2Q '04.
5. Zones: Net income increased 1,020.8 percent from 2Q '03 to 2Q '04 due to consolidated outbound sales to small to midsize businesses, large customer accounts and the public sector markets increasing 4.8 percent to 113.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $108.4 million in the corresponding period of the prior year.
6. Vignette: Net income decreased 619.4 percent from 2Q '03 to 2Q '04 because 2Q '04 was the first full operational quarter following the strategic acquisitions of Intraspect and Tower technology.
7. Sierra Systems: Net income decreased 646.9 percent from 2Q '03 to 2Q '04. This is because in 2Q '04 the company had just completed two major projects, now in production status.

9. Titan: Net income decreased 1,234.7 percent from 2Q '03 to 2Q '04. The net loss was within the range projected in the company's preliminary second quarter 2004 results.
